From: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> As noted in the previous commit a Linux kernel module's Makefile will be read twice, during initial GNU make run, and later for when the kernel will build the external module. Variables that require path consideration must address in which context it needs to be defined and do so by detecting at which run time case it wants to instantiate variables. In our case we want to ensure that both COMPAT_CONFIG and COMPAT_AUTOCONF are defined within the context of the directory of the external module we are building as otherwise GNU Make will try to treat it as part of the kernel's build directory's files. We already have COMPAT_CONFIG and COMPAT_AUTOCONF defined under a ifeq ($(KERNELRELEASE),) check, we now just need to add the directory context and then remove the other now superfluous uses of the $(PWD).
